I went to a dinner locally (at a steakhouse in a 4-star resort) that was about alternative investments.  

@ Lenore C - all those new build add to the supply side of things, but did nothing to demand.... when you have homeless on every corner, and when you get your car smashed if you stop at night for business dinner, you won't want to live there, trust me...I really would sell if I were you...Also note that most new business that started in the last 5-10 years are all North of Palo Alto....

Is it breakfast,lunch,or dinner?

Or if anybody knows of a similar bank or credit union that is local I will buy you dinner and a beer :)

There was a meeting fee, but it included a catered dinner that was very good.

I just had dinner with him and his wife I Florida this week.. and they really liked Cleveland.

Mentioned he had to go to a dinner one night, his brokerage is honoring a few "million dollar producers" for the year.

Maybe you offer to take them to dinner or lunch where you can talk with them one on one versus a group setting.

Got to make sure you updated your Facebook status before dinner with Zuch?

I've said this before and I'll say it again:  Book smarts make dinner conversation, street smarts make money.My advice?
